District 14 Magnet High School Plans Are Approved
Dr Francis McKeag said the District 14 high school project remains valid after the board approved a city wide comprehensive plan. He noted both new District 14 and District 23 high schools address overcrowding and will later integrate magnet features as part of a long range redevelopment for Chicago schools. Educational parks and outer consultant help will shape the magnet and campus concepts over years.
